Pumpkin Picking

Yesterday we went pumpkin picking at one of our local farms.  We each picked out a pumpkin to bring home and carve.  It was a really neat experience for all of us to pick and cut our pumpkins off the vine.  We’ll post our masterpieces as it gets closer to Halloween.

Daddy-Daughter Weekend

This past weekend Brooke and I had a Daddy-Daughter weekend.  We hung out the whole weekend together, playing, going to the Children’s Festival, taking walks around the neighborhood, going to the park, eating lunch out and splashing in the rain.  It was a good time for the two of us.

Water Bottles and a Wagon

Brooke and I spent the afternoon hanging out today.  With the beautiful weather that we’ve been having we decided to take a walk down to our neighborhood lake.  Of course we took Brooke’s wagon, but we also took not just one water bottle… but two.  The weather today reminded me of an afternoon Brooke and I had last year around this same time.  Hopefully we can keep up the tradition of a yearly fall photo together.

Virginia Zoo

Yesterday (Monday) was our “Saturday”.  After getting ready for the day and having breakfast we all went to the zoo and enjoyed monkeying around.  Brooke had a fun time running from animal exhibit to animal exhibit.  Then we went and had lunch at No Frill Grill before it was Brooke’s nap time.  It was a nice family morning.
